Great service changing out the serpentine belt and the tensioner. They were slammed but got me out that afternoon as promised. Prices are always fair and Mark and Chris are honest and a pleasure to talk to.

Really impressed with Tommy's. I've had them do many things to my Jeep over the years. They have always been honest even removing things from my estimate when they weren't needed. Faith is wonderful, friendly, and knowledgeable. Every time I've had work done I've had someone text me to check in and make sure everything is alright. I've never had to wait more than a week even for larger repairs. They've got me as a patron for life.

We always have a great experience with Tommy's. They never try to sell me on more than is needed, and they're friendly and quick. Yesterday my daughter's tire blew on U.S. 19, which had us shaken up a bit. I had the car towed to Tommy's - not even knowing if they did tires - thinking I'd call this morning and figure out what to do. I was lying in bed this morning, stressing about what I was going to do about the car, when my phone rings.
It's Faith from Tommy's. She says they've already found a tire and it'll be ready this afternoon. I told Faith she is amazing, but truly -- I am so grateful. I was so stressed this morning, and to get that call that they had already taken care of it was such a relief. They're just the best.

Honest biz good work Although I have used other shops in the past consistently the shop is accurate a diagnostics thorough and their work and warranties everything they do it's a rare fine in automotive repair I've been using them for over 10 years my car very rarely breaks down but when I do have something they fix it and if they can't they refer you to someone else that they trust

I have a review on here already, but this is an additional salute to their honesty. After Mavis Tire installed 4 new tires, they quoted the replacement of my rack and pinion steering at $1400 as it was leaking. Tire shops provide tire removal, replacement and balancing. I do not allow them to work on mechanical issues. I took it to Tommy's. The leak was not the rack and pinion but motor oil. I believe it is due to me over-filling the oil. No charge. Tommy's had the opportunity to take advantage of me as Mavis Tire attempted to do. They were honest and I'll be honest: Tommy's will remain my 'go to' repair shop.
